Hello All, I was reading an article in one of the family history periodicals concerning statutory notices given to licensee's regarding habitual drunkards. I have an original notice issued to the licensee of the Aberdeen Arms, Wear Street, Sunderland, with photograph. The person mentioned was a Mrs Ellen Cockburn, 10 Garden Court, Monkwearmouth, Sunderland. her conviction dated Feb 3rd. 1903 at Sunderland Police Court. On the reverse side of the notice is a copy of the habitual drunkards-licensing act 1902, signed by the then chief constable a Mr Carter. 20th Feb 1903. I wondered if anyone has an Ellen Cockburn,b.1869 amongst their interests( and would admit to same !!) and if so would they like a copy. My father got hold of this notice after amalgamating his firm with that of a very old Sunderland solicitor, Tindall Green, who was probably "on the case". Regards, Derek.
